-But that's a mostly unrelated rant from an American. It's probably not as big of a deal as my brain is making it out to be.

Trains and buses and street cars used to be extremely commonplace in North America and most European countries, until Automotive manufacturers began manipulating governments and generations of people into needing and wanting automobiles.

Maybe there are other reasons behind it that I'm not aware of, but the instant recognition that my brain had was that it's one step in a long list of actions that are meant to popularize automobiles so that they eventually replace other modes of transit.

That makes it cheapest and easiest to buy and drive cars, most americans almost never use buses, trains, nor streetcars.

With no further context, tax breaks for gas stations kind of concerns me a bit because of my experiences with them.

In the United States, gasoline and infrastructure associated with automobiles is heavily subsidized with tax breaks and funding.

Technically correct, however I didn't expect the doll to contain that specific detail
